Splat

In collaboration with Zack Cornelius, Wraith, J.C. Galt, and ZevGun

Splat is a game in which the goal is to build the biggest connected chain of tiles. To be considered connected a tile must be touching a tile of the same color on one of its four sides. The game comes in two parts: the server and the client.

If somebody else is running the server, you will only need to download the client part. Be sure to run the jar from the command line as follows so that you can connect to the server:

java -jar splatclient.jar hostname port

If you are running the server, be sure that you have the MySQL database set up correctly and then start it as follows:

java -jar splatserver.jar -p listenPort --dbhost databaseHost --dp databasePort -u databaseUser --password databasePassword -d databaseName

Requirements for the server

• MySQL with a database created for the game
• The database must be initialized with create.sql
• Java 6 Runtime Environment or later

Requirements for the client:

• Java 5 Runtime Environment or later

Requirements for running from source:

• Java 5 (or 6, as above) Development Kit or later
• GNU Make
